Yes, we're out here, but given that we're all one big happy family, we haven't really felt the need to set up a UK-specific thread :-) Just feel free to join in with everybody else's threads - you'll start to recognize where everybody's from over time.

Anyway, I'm based in London and own a Stanley Clarke Deluxe. Where are you and what's your weapon of choice?

I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland, and there are 4 of us up here who have met in Edinburgh and had a great time! I currently play a Spoiler and a Europa, both are six strungs. Please let us know a little more about yourself.

Hi David. Mike P has already mentioned the scottish contingent - He's actually from new mexico and I'm from near newcastle but we're based in edinburgh. The other 2 are scots - one in edinburgh the other out in falkirk. I play a rogue fretless 5 and an epic fretted 5. You'll need to let us know where you are and when you're gigging. You can check out my band Big Tuna here

Cheers for that . However York was the location given to us in the tour schedule for this year so I think I can be forgiven for that. I've been and checked the web site and yes we are listed so it must be there.

I've just got back from our last gig at the rototom reggae festival in Italy. Fantastic, huge place very much like the Womad festivals.

Being on the road with Apache and the band is a great experience. On stage we have a great time and the audiences seem to like us too.

I'd be interested in reading the review too. lol I know the Alembic guitar should get a good review even if those around it don't lol.

I'm in London and I have a few of friends with Alembics too, some of whom post here. I'm also an admin of Bassworld.co.uk so feel free to sign up and send a shout out to other Alembic users if you like. I know of about 5 or 6 at least.

Hi Brit Alembics I made the mistake of selling a beautiful 4 String Epic to A London Bass SHop about seven or eight years ago and wondered if anybody knows where she went, it was serial No.96W9975 I'd just like to know how she's doing. If anyone knows.

If any of the uk members have a series I or II bass for sale in small standard body 4 string(clarkee styleee) or Europa style 5 or 6. I'd be interested at the right price. :-)

But I would consider other body styles if the condition is good. Preferably newer models as I have a mortgage and dont want to have to splash out a fortune to get the electronics upgrade due to interference etc.

Hi I am Malcolm current bass player with 'State of Undress' from Poole UK . I play an Alembic 6 String custom with series 2 electrics, a Classico EUB (one of only two stereo ones in the world), and a 5 string Alembic Elan. As you may gather I like Alembics. Catch me at the Virgin Megastore 6pm 4th October playing instore to promote the CD, or at a gig ( www.stateofundress.com )we play all over so check out the gig list.

Hi Malcolm again. Great to get so many messages from you all. Yes the picture on the web site shows a Fender because thats the previous bass player. If you go to the blog there is a pic of the Six in action at the Cuckoo Festival. We have not got it together to get some good pics of me yet as I have only been with then a couple of months. I plan to get some pictures together at the Cavern on Friday and post them next week.

Sam It is a replica of the old cavern using reclaimed materials and an additional stage has been added as it is a really popular venue, The vibe is fantastic. Despite being heavily comercialised to cash in on the Beatles history Liverppol is still a real cool place Malcolm
